LIBERALISM VS.. PROSPERITY.

The Gentiles of Utah have one feature
in common-they are all non Mormons;
it would puzzle the microscope of Sam
Weller to find another common feature.
1t is apt to be hastily assumed, because
all are Gentiles that the interests of all
are identical; but it would be as logical
to argue from the fact that oil and
water are liquids to the fact of their
mixtures. 1t has been the policy of the
obstructionists to inculcate the idea
that the material interests of all Gen.
tiles were united as against those of all
Mo-mons. But the fact really is that
seven-eighths of the Gentiles and all of
the Mormons are deeply concerned in
the overthrow of Liberalism.
Of the two classes of non-Mormons
in Utah, one is political, the other is
non-political. The interests of one are
ephemeral, those of the other are per-
msnent. One is, as it were, the hog that
came here to be fed; the other, the
horse that came to labor. One, chiefly.
were carpet-baggers, attracted by the
tempting bait of third-class salary;
the other, honest workers who desired
only the privilege of developing Utah's
resources.
Once here, one became traffickers
in human liberty; the other, buyers
and sellers in the commercial marts.
One cares little for the prosperity Of
Utah. to the other, it is everything
To one. politics is joy; to the other,
it is nuisance.
We believe it to be capable of
the clearest demonstration that the
Gentiles of this Territory are divided
into two classes, whose interests are
Numerically opposed.
We believe that upon examination. it
will &c found to be obvious, First. that
the Tribone-Liberal gang are actuated
by the single motive of acquiring DO
litical possession of this great and
growing Territory; that, Second, to &C
complish this it is necessary to sacrifice
the development and prosperity of the
Territory, and thot for these reasons il
Is plain case of Baskin. Bennett, Hol-
lister. ct al. vs.IGentile merchants and
miners.
The Mormon press have frequently
made the charge that the anti-Mormon
agitation in Utah had without the
sinctity OF the lamb, but within the
voracity of the wolf; that under the
garb of patriotism and the cloak Of
morality was hidden the ogre of cupidity
But these charges have been denounced

BRING ENTERPRISE WITH MONEY

houses, or a row Of cottages, who will
build q mill or establish factory, who

It wont help US any if we sell hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of real
estate if the land is bought merely as a
speculation, the purchaser holding it
until "boom" strikes the town and he
can sell at an advance. The city lots
are already here, and it doesn't increase
their value, nor add to the wealth of
the city, if they change owners every
day, if the land is notimproved. What

SHABBY MAIN STREET.

It should dawn upon the owners OF
land on Main Street, that their lack of
enterprise is ahout to work to their
financial injury. Ever since this has
been city that street has held mon
opoly on trade. 1t has held the stores,
wholesale and retail; the banks and
business offices, the commerce of the
CITY being practically confined to the
three blocks from South Temple Street
TO Third South. One wonders at this
when he gazes down the street, and
looks at the class of buildings on either
side-shabby, tumble down affairs, wild
rookeries, and old houses which are
little better than the dug-outs seen
in the noun aims. In the very
heart of the business quarter, one
story adobe shanties occupy ground
worth hundreds or perhaps thousands
of dollars foot front. What is there
from First South to Second South, on
the east side, that is not q disgrace to
the town? Two, or possibly three
buildings, all the others being such
shanties as would delight the town if
they we're burned to the ground. The
west side is a little better, though not
much. Between South Temple and
First South, west side, there is one or
perhaps two buildings which it would
be pity TO burn.
Considering the bad use to which
The owners put this most valuable land.
We are not sorry to note the
tendency to depart from Main Street
and carry trade to other quarters.
There is such a tendency, and it. is
growing more prominent every day.
rne movement is in the direction of
First and Second South, and it is OBJ.
lerved that inquiries for real estate on
Shese streets are becoming numerous.
The Main Street owners cannot have
failed to note the fact. Once of these
days they will have it brought to their
knowledge in most painful manner,
when they see the trade moving to the
tide streets from the dilapidsted old
rookeries on Main.
The fact is, the Main Street owners
who have let the land support them,
will soon have to do something to sup
port their land. They must erect
good and slightly buildings
Dr. their property will de-
oreciate and the street lose its pr estige
and prominence. They must end this
og-in-the-manger policy, and either
sell their land or improve it, for the
enterprise which erects commodieus
and stately stores on other streets will
carry the business. A little enterprise
and money, few years ago, built up
lower Main and took much trade be-
low Second South, which would have
remained above that street if the owners
of the land north of Second South had
erected the buildings that were de-
manded. The same kind of enterprise
will soon give Main another black
eye, and the community will rejoice
for the public feels ashamed that what
should be the most slightly, the most
attractive street in the city is really the
shabbiest.

THE INTERSTATE LAW.

How the railway managers do smoker
in their sleeves when they think of
the Interstate Commerce act, and how
proud the people must be of the states
man who passed the bill for the pro-
lection of the masses against the
grinding oppression of the "soulless"
corporations! The intelligence of the
lawmakers made manifest in this law
is something of which the voters may
we'll be proud but that intelligence is
nothing to compare with the cunning
of the railroaders. Truly, this is an
instance where the shearers came back
shorn. Seventy railroads have re-
ported their earnings for the first week
after the Interstate law went into
operation, and these show net gain
over the earnings for the correspond
ing week in 1886, of nearly 80 per cent.
Some of this gain may be accounted
for in the increased business. Trade
opens better this year than last,
all the railroads having more business
than they had twelve months ago; but
increased receipts by the companies are
largely due to the Interstate Commerce
act, which has put an end to legitimate
competition and enabled if not actually
compelled the railways to combine to
pluck the people. How well pleased
the railroads are with the law is demon
strated by the absence of complaint as
to any provision save the long and short
haul clause, and that section has been
suspended by the Commission in every
instance where application has been
made for its suspension. If the railways
do not manage to use the law to help
them pluck the public to the tune of q
few millions before the senseless act can
be amended, it will be because the rail-
way people do not know how to employ
power.

THE RESTAURANT and hotel keepers of
Hartford, Conn.,, to the number of eight
fed their guests oleomargarine without
informing them of the fact, and the
consequence is that the eight afore-
said are now defendants in criminal
prosecutions. The claim has always
been made that pleomargarine is as
clean and wholesome as dairy butter
and this claim is probably correct; but
the oleomargarine dealers discredit
their own professions when they
attempt to deceive by representing
suet as genuine butter. II is the fraud
which people object to, more than the
oleomargarine.

MAN WAS MADE TO MOURN. - y s.
terday was the LIST of April, and accord
ing toa custom which has existed since
the Adam family moved into the sur
rounding country from the Garden of
Eden, domestic relations became un-
pleasant and the outside world caught
a glimpse of tile unhappiness of man.
The streets were crowded with movers
I he INDEPENDENT reporter witness
ed laughahle scene on South Charles
Street. A whole family was in motion
and long before we could distinguish
whether the approaching caravan con-
sisted of beasts or beings, we caught
the sound of strife. A mother, father,
two children, cat and a dog made up
the crowd. Just before we got opposite
to them the dog manifested laundering
for the cat, which the smaller girl was
dragging after her by means of a bed
cord The hankering increased, and Fl.
nally eliminated in dash for kitty.
But the midnight, back. yard fence mu-
stefan was wide awake and quickly ran
up the little girls back, who loudly
screamed and fell against her sister,
knocking that Miss down. The moth
er turned around and fell over large
cow which quickly arose. The last we
saw of the poor lady she was disappear
ing around near corner, seated on the
cows back, while the cat, dog, children
and old gentleman were mixed up in
one conglomerated mass Of confusion
and strife. From near tree we view
ed the scene of carnage, until the cat,
after scratching the fathers face an al
most binding the dog, reached the
stone fence, which she paraded. with
arched back and triumphant mien.
Gradually quiet and peace prevailed and
the procession took up its line Of march
to find the lost mother. Thus it ever
is--man was made to mourn-especial-
ly on moving day when cats and dogs
fall out and the cow runs away with
the head of the family.
